            1. It was clear to go once you were in the building.听

            2. Some people wanted to go to multiple sessions that were offered at the same time.听

              1. There were people who wished the Conference was longer. This might help with people wanting to go to multiple sessions.听

    3. Post-Event Review

      1. Advertising

        1. 听

      2. Logistics

        1. They were still setting up at 6:00 PM when the event was supposed to start, but they let people come in and sit down and get food.听

        2. Started the event around 6:30 PM.

        3. Had the post-event survey at the beginning of the event, so maybe not the most accurate.听

        2. Liaison concerns

          1. Organization has not been good in the past, but it started off on a good foot.听

          2. Their advertising was done early and they were prepared before applying for funding.听

          3. They did not follow the proper protocols to work with EP&C to get catering.

          4. The communication was not there for many aspects of the event (the band change, food issues, etc.).听

            1. They communicated with CSI about this but not the liaisons, and not in a timely manner.听

            2. They almost did not have a band for the event because of this.听

          5. They were confused about who to contact about various issues and did not understand using BuffConnect.听

          6. Everything was very last minute, and they were not mindful about how this would impact other people trying to help them.听

          7. We will be bringing them in for a post-event hearing next week.听

      2. They have been turning in requests for reimbursement for items that the Board did not vote to fund.听

        1. Allie is putting together a list of everything they were funded for so as to make it clear to Hindu YUVA and to help CSI Finance.听

        2. They bought items that they did not talk to us about and then have requested to be reimbursed.听

          1. Catering is held up because of the back and forth on menu items. They will be contacting ASA by Friday about this and whether or not EP&C can accommodate their requested menu. Because of this, we still won鈥檛 know the price until Friday at the earliest.听

      2. QR code to sign up to walk in the event can be sent out because it鈥檚 not really marketing for the event, more just prep for their event!

        1. So if you see it around, that should be fine and they know not to have the flyers out
